How to automatically change Replications per Scenario and run experiments?

Shiuan — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 16:29:36 GMT

[ FlexSim 23.0.10 ]

I need to accomplish the following two things

1. Use script to execute experiments.

I have found the following syntax, but cannot execute it.

applicationcommand("runExperimenter");

runExperimenter();

2. Read the value of "Simulation times" as the Replications per Scenario of the experiment.

How should I write the script?

aaa.fsm

An example of the location of the numreps node:

MODEL:/Tools/Experimenter>variables/jobs/Experiment2/numReps

To run an experiment:

Object experimenter = node("/Tools/Experimenter", model());
treenode experiment=node("jobs/Experiment2",variables(experimenter));
function_s(experimenter, "run",experiment);

Sorry, I still don't understand how to make the value of Replications per Scenario of the experiment change according to the parameter "Simulation times"

Can you give an example?

Thank you for your reply!

In the OnSet of the parameter you set the value of the node of the experiment for which you wish it to apply. If you have several jobs defined then having a single value for numReps doesn't qualify it - unless you want to change all jobs, in which case you'll need to write a loop to set all experiment jobs. Take a look at the tree for the structure:
